The codec maybe available with the VLC app for windows. I use VLC on a Linux distribution titled Kubuntu, same as Ubuntu but KDE distribution. Have a great Xmas and Happy, safe new year.
Thanks, yes I have used VLC and Media Player Classic They support HEVC. Although I find some clips will stall the video after a few seconds and others play fine. Could be a micro SD card issue, maybe. My video editor from Corel doesn't like the file format at all and blacks out the video but plays sound. I have a video converter from Aimersoft that won't convert the original file. VLC-converted files still won't behave in my editor. What I have to do is first convert with VLC then convert with Aimersoft and then my editor will be able to use the file. I think HEVC support in Windows is flakey, lots of complaints online about it, but I can see why Haloview uses it since it compresses so well and reduces the file sizes. Cheers! Ray
@@LoveYourRV HEVC works fine in my Linux OS, no issues at all, I use Shotcut video editor that is also available in Windows. Most users stick with Windows so maybe the versions I mentioned will work just as well for you. Wishing you and yours all the best for 2025.
Thanks Ray! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Perhaps you can mention to Haloview, that most TPMS do not work on motorhomes with hubcaps. If they can come up a valve system that is compatible with hubcaps that would be very helpful.
There is a small opening on the front wheels which makes it difficult to access. In some cases the sensor prevents me from reinstalling the hub caps. The back is worse because I have dual tires which makes it almost impossible to attach the sensor.
Maybe some valve extenders would do the trick. www.amazon.com/RVZONE-Extenders-Stainless-Extension-Motorhome/dp/B0CQBYC7V6 I had them on my old dually truck
Yeah I tried valve extension but I didn’t like them flopping around with the extra weight of the sensor. I will stick with my heat gun for now. Thanks for your input.
Diesel When towing we average anywhere from 10 MPG up to 13.5 MPG. I generally tow at speeds between 62-65 mph. The low fuel mileage figure of 10 MPG comes during severe duty conditions such as pulling steep grades at high speeds or into strong headwinds. The highest figure of 13.5 MPG is with low wind on flat straight roadways, and at moderate speeds. Elevation also affects milage with slightly better numbers at lower elevations. Overall I’d say the average for a 6-month trip south and back when towing comes in around 11.5 mpg. Unhooked the truck gets between 18-22 MPG depending on if its city or highway driving.
My tranny is a 6 speed AISIN which is mated with a 3.42 ratio rear end. It has good pulling power in the first 4 gears and then 2 over drive type gears that give great fuel milage by keeping the RPM low. In 6th gear doing 70 MPH my RPM is right around 1500-1600 range. I usually repack every 2 years and I replaced bearings, races and seals at around 8 years - www.loveyourrv.com/installing-new-trailer-bearings-and-brakes-on-our-cougar-fifth-wheel/
Thanks for the update!
Meery Christmas to you and Anne.
Thanks, same to you, Cheers!

Are the valve stems hidden behind the hub caps?

Very decent mileage imo. Had no idea of the large bump You receive when un hitched. How often do You re pack Your trailer wheel bearings?
